Calgary to Kelowna with Wine Tasting Tour | $198 roundtrip after taxes | May long weekend
8
May
I was happy to see that GoJumpOn's first deal to Las Vegas last month was a success. They managed to fill up a 737 charter plane and offer a cheaper flight to Vegas than the major airlines.
I was also curious to see what they were going to offer next, and it looks like it's a flight to Kelowna over May Long weekend, with a wine tour included in the price of the flight.
The amazing thing is that even *without* the wine tour thrown in, the flight is 50% cheaper than WestJet or Air Canada's May long weekend fares at the moment. And it's about 25% cheaper than the usual bottom price for a weekend flight to Kelowna.
It looks to me like the included wine tours are operated by Distinctly Kelowna Tours, because when you Google the names of the tours below, that's who shows up. They seem to get great reviews on TripAdvisor.
Looking at the different wine tours you can choose from, they appear to have a value of about $80 to $90/person. So if the wine tour has value to you, you're basically getting the flight to Kelowna for $100 roundtrip after taxes and fees over May long weekend!
To get the deal for $198, you need to either sign up and get a Jump Code for $50 off, or use someone else's Jump Code and get $50 off. My Jump Code is CM284 if anyone wants to use it.
Just to note, it looks like this deal has already 'Jumped', meaning enough people have committed to the deal for the flight to be a guaranteed go.
UPDATE:
This deal has now sold out, as the 737 is full. I hope everyone has a great time in Kelowna!

Booked! Thanks for the great tip! Does anyone know when the $50 credit is applied?
I agree ... where do you use the jump code ?? Also do you book the wine tours on your own ? One last thing ... any suggestions on hotels ?
Looking forward to a great weekend in Kelowna !!
I just spoke with JumpOn, and there is no $50 credit unless you've previously referred someone. Make sure you're happy with paying $249 when you book, because they said they don't offer a refund.
My Jump Code is AD924 if anyone needs one.
My jump code is aw595 is anyone needs a code!
Thanks for that Ash, cheap flights out to visit the family with an added wine tasting awesome :)
Jump code is LD721 if anybody needs one!
Thanks to those providing your jump codes, very helpful! I just booked and it looks like there are only 8 seats left on the flight. See you all on the long weekend!
We are booked and ready to go and enjoy the Wine tours and some nice weather. Hello Kelowna
